This is the soundtrack from the 1960 movie EXODUS with Paul Newman and Eva Marie Saint as main actors. The original sound:

Below you will find my present version; I'm still working on it. I'm inspired by this version:

Should anybody have the midi-file to the version by Richard Clayderman please contact me because I cannot get it.
If you want to play like the midi above (like every midi to exodus I could find) play Theme Part I three times and end with The End B. The tabs in [] are alternates and the ones in () are essentials of the original sound but not necessary. You can also play only the last note before and hold it longer. I have transposed 5 halfsteps up (Part I); otherwise a 16-hole chromaqtic would be necessary. [Part II 16 and III 12 hs] Further you can make your own experiments. For instance substitute line 3, 4 and 5 of part I by line 3, 4 and 5 of part II a.s.o.. I wish a lot of fun!
